[Cooker] Patch for sash.
Attached is a patch for sash. It enables readline support. The patch
is something I made quite some time ago for myself. It replaces the
-misc patch (includes the same changes plus the readline stuff). The
binary size of sash is increased about 100 KB but I think readline
support is worth that much.

Summary: A statically linked shell, including some built-in basic commands.
Name: sash
Version: 3.3
Release: 3mdk
Copyright: GPL
Group: System Environment/Shells

%description
Sash is a simple, standalone, statically linked shell which includes
simplified versions of built-in commands like ls, dd and gzip. Sash
is statically linked so that it can work without shared libraries, so
it is particularly useful for recovering from certain types of system
failures. Sash can also be used to safely upgrade to new versions of
shared libraries.

[Cooker] hackmozilla experiment not going too well... :-(
Hello, My hackmozilla (CVS version of mozilla) experiment isn't going too well. I built a RPM that's all the files (M13 + changes through to the current "nightly build") in them. The thing compiles fine... The installation of the browser looks like this: hackmozilla-browser ## RegSelf Unicode to Big5 converter complete RegSelf Unicode to x-x-big5 converter complete RegSelf Big5 to Unicode converter complete *** Deferring registration of sample JS components -*- sidebar: registering (all right -- a JavaScript module!) *** Registering sample JS components nNCL: registering deferred (0) nNCL: registering deferred (0) *** Unloading sample JS components -*- sidebar: Unloading component. And then when I try to start it: [stefan@stefan stefan]$ mozilla [1] 8864 [stefan@stefan stefan]$ nNCL: registering deferred (0) Could not obtain CmdLine processing service [1]+ Segmentation fault mozilla It stops... The weird thing is that the nightly build (tar.gz) works (unpack it into my homedir, and run it from there)... Unless anyone's got a bright idea's about what's going on with nNCL / what I'm doing wrong, I'm waiting for M14 ;-) Otherwise, please let me know. If anyone is interested, I'll put my src.rpm up somewhere (on my own box, or in /incoming, or some other location)...

[Cooker] xmanager!
I love it! This is what i've been trying to do with my 2 linux boxes for some
time now.
you can find the "xmanager" program on www.zdnet.com, downloads. do a search
for "linux" and it should be about the 5th-7th program from the top. or you can
try this url if i get it correct:
http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=0014FX
(o...wow, can even copy/paste between win98/linux appsawesome!)
The program executes w/i win98 and enables you to log into your remote linux
box via tcp/ip (ip connection). if you've got 10/100 cards, your in business.
(i had to manually specify 100mb transfer speeds w/i win98 control papel).
A couple of bugs are that i had to move my win98 task bar out of the way of
the kde taskbar and i had to change the--
Window Mode Multiple Window mode options from "transperant" to "X window
background"
this app runs on install into win98 and runs well with the mdk 7.0 distro
nicely w/o errors! ('cept for a dpms error...click ok etc).
If anyone has any advice on how i "should be" able to do this between my 2
linux boxes w/o buying this (probabely expensive package) let me know.
This app is a plus if you have a windows98 only (!) computer for which you want
to access your linux box remotely!

The weird thing is that the nightly build (tar.gz) works (unpack it into my homedir, and run it from there)... Unless anyone's got a bright idea's about what's going on with nNCL / what I'm doing wrong, I'm waiting for M14 ;-) Otherwise, please let me know.

You just seemed so "amazed" by it all. thing is, i can't find "any" direct how-to's. "Direct" how-to's on what though? this i should be pressumabley listed within a "local lans" section. Huh? btw: i've picked up the o'reilly book on x. scanned thru it. Maybe you need to read it rather than scan thru it. not too much on veiwing remote computer by "x". What do you mean by "viewing remote computer"? X is a display protocol, nothing more. maybe i didn't get/find the right one. I don't think I am grasping what you want to do. Doing such is probably outside the scope of this list however so perhaps we should just drop it. i've been ruthlessly searching for some type of how-to on this x/remote stuff. What how-to? There is nothing to write a how-to about. You tell X where you want to display the gui for the app, set up the permission to do it and that is it. I gave you the how-to for the most part in the last message here. your the first that has said anything. I guess it all seems pretty mindless to those of us who have been working with X for as many years rather than getting lulled into the "single display" world of MS-Windows. Guess once people get their stuff up and running, they forget to document their techniques. But this is the point, there is nothing to document. The document would not be much larger than what I gave you. What more do you need to know? Thanx for your info on setting it up. You are welcome.
